Proverbs:30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh ,
even the prophecy :
the man spake unto Ithiel #
Iythiy #
el #,
even unto Ithiel #
Iythiy #
el #
and Ucal ,
*
Surely I am more brutish than any man ,
and have not the understanding of a man .
*
I neither learned wisdom ,
nor have the knowledge of the holy .
*
Who hath ascended up into heaven ,
or descended ?
who hath gathered the wind in his fists ?
who hath bound the waters in a garment ?
who hath established all the ends of the earth ?
what is his name ,
and what is his sons name ,
if thou canst tell ?
*
Every word of God is pure :
he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him .
*
Add thou not unto his words ,
lest he reprove thee ,
and thou be found a liar .
*
Two things have I required of thee ;
deny me them not before I die :
*
Remove far from me vanity and lies dabar #:
give me neither poverty nor riches ;
feed me with food convenient for me :
*
Lest I be full ,
and deny thee ,
and say ,
Who is the LORD ?
or lest I be poor ,
and steal ,
and take the name of my God in vain .
*
Accuse not a servant unto his master ,
lest he curse thee ,
and thou be found guilty .
*
There is a generation that curseth their father ,
and doth not bless their mother .
*
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes ,
and yet is not washed from their filthiness tsow #
ah #.
*
There is a generation ,
O how lofty are their eyes !
and their eyelids #
aph #
aph #
are lifted up .
*
There is a generation ,
whose teeth are as swords ,
and their jaw teeth as knives ma #
akeleth #,
to devour the poor from off the earth ,
and the needy from among men .
*
The horseleach hath two daughters ,
crying ,
Give ,
give .
There are three things that are never satisfied ,
yea ,
four things say not ,
It is enough :
*
The grave sh @#
owl #;
and the barren womb ;
the earth that is not filled with water ;
and the fire that saith not ,
It is enough .
*
The eye that mocketh at his father ,
and despiseth to obey his mother ,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out ,
and the young eagles shall eat it .
*
There be three things which are too wonderful for me ,
yea ,
four which I know not :
*
The way of an eagle in the air ;
the way of a serpent upon a rock ;
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea ;
and the way of a man with a maid .
*
Such is the way of an adulterous woman ;
she eateth ,
and wipeth her mouth ,
and saith ,
I have done no wickedness .
*
For three things the earth is disquieted ,
and for four which it cannot bear :
*
For a servant when he reigneth ;
and a fool when he is filled with meat ;
*
For an odious woman when she is married ;
and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress .
*
There be four things which are little upon the earth ,
but they are exceeding wise :
*
The ants are a people not strong ,
yet they prepare their meat in the summer ;
*
The conies are but a feeble folk ,
yet make they their houses in the rocks ;
*
The locusts have no king ,
yet go they forth all of them by bands ;
*
The spider taketh hold with her hands ,
and is in kings palaces .
*
There be three things which go well ,
yea ,
four are comely in going :
*
A lion which is strongest among beasts ,
and turneth not away for any ;
*
A greyhound mothen #;
an he goat also ;
and a king ,
against whom there is no rising up .
*
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself ,
or if thou hast thought evil ,
lay thine hand upon thy mouth .
*
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter chem #
ah #,
and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood :
so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife .
